A community is considering how to allocate expenditures between education and other goods. a) Draw the budget constraint, putting "education" on the x-axis and "other goods" on the y-axis. b) On a separate graph, contrast the budget constraint of a poor community with that of a richer community. c) On another graph and using indifference curves, explain why a poorer community is likely to spend less on education than a richer community. Could you please help with this question? Thank you...

(a) Examine the view that it is possible to escape from the "impossibility" result of Arrow by making social preferences a function of cardinal utility rather than of individual orderings.
Suppose that you have data at the individual level that includes information on the price of a doctor visit an individual and the number of doctor visits they go to in a given year. For simplicity, let's say that those with more generous plans pay less for a doctor's visit, while those with less generous plans pay more for a visit. You graph the relationship between the price individual pays for doctor visits against the number of visits, and you see a downward sloping line; let's call this "measured demand." The problem of "endogeneity" discussed this week could arise here if individuals who know they go to the doctor frequently buy more generous coverage while those who know they rarely go to the doctor purchase less generous coverage. This would imply that the "true" demand curve (if we were to account for endogeneity) is_________ the same as. less inelastic than the measured demand curve. more inelastic than the measured demand curve.
Hi - I'm confused on isocost lines... I have to draw a diagram with artifical intelligence on the y-axis and human intelligence on the x-axis and draw isocost lines.
2. The standard model of consumer behavior assumes that income is exogenous. Of course, a person's income usually depends upon the number of hours the individual works. Suppose that an individual has T hours each day which can be allocated toward working time, H, or leisure time, L-that is, T = H + L. The individual earns w dollars for each hour worked. Then the individual's income is M + wH where M denotes any non-labor income. The individual has preferences over leisure time, L, and a consumption good, X, which can be represented by a quasi-concave utility function, U(X, L). The consumption good, X, can be purchased at the price Px. The individual seeks to maximize the utility subject to the constraints on time and money. (1) Formulate the individual's problem as an optimization problem with two constraints a time constraint and a money constraint. Derive the first-order conditions. Give an economic interpretation of the Lagrange multipliers. (2) The two-constraints problem can be…

One way to promote a new business is to sell a popular item at a massive discount. If Jared were to open a clothing store and sell high-end dress shoes for $100 a pair, he would likely have a line out the door. How would an economist understand the behavior of those standing in line?
